TypeScript: market
TypeScript is the typed superset of JavaScript that became the industry standard: new frontend and Node.js codebases start with TS by default. We track 7 817 open positions listing TypeScript, 7 416 of them fresh. TS is required on both sides of the API: in frontend — with React and Next.js, in backend — with NestJS and Node.js, in fullstack roles — everywhere at once. TypeScript most often appears next to React, JavaScript and Python. 49% of the postings allow fully remote work. Below is a live slice of TypeScript demand: trend, geography, seniority and the adjacent stack.
The TypeScript market currently has 7,817 open roles, 7,416 of them freshly observed. Median salary $8,195/mo. Observed candidate pool — 9,441.

How this is measured
- Vacancy
- an open job that cleared the quality gate and lists at least two technologies
- Observed candidate
- a candidate whose stack contains this technology; an aggregate — not a single record leaves the perimeter
- Matchable candidate
- not counted yet
- Window
- jobs open at the moment the snapshot was built

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the TypeScript market — short answers from the slice.
Is TypeScript a separate skill or part of JavaScript?
In practice — a separate level: the type system (generics, utility types, discriminated unions) requires dedicated study. Postings have long named TS first, assuming solid JavaScript underneath.
Where is TypeScript required beyond frontend?
Node.js backend (NestJS, Fastify), fullstack with tRPC and server components, infrastructure SDKs (CDK, Pulumi), editor extensions and tooling. The backend-TS share of postings grows noticeably.
Should a resume list both JavaScript and TypeScript?
Yes: some searches go by one term, some by the other. This slice tracks 7 817 open TypeScript positions, and recruiters filter by both terms; a TS-only resume risks missing JS-keyed searches and vice versa.
What should I learn next to TypeScript to grow?
One SSR framework (Next.js), a server side (NestJS or tRPC), schema validation (zod), testing (Vitest, Playwright) and CI basics. That set covers the fullstack requirements of most postings in the slice.
